Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead-Chapter 525 - 260: Black Island

"Why?" Yu Siyi’s voice trembled, unable to comprehend Lu Langfeng’s command.

Lu Langfeng didn’t explain, his tone only grew colder as he said, "You just need to answer me, yes or no."

The increasingly rigid attitude reminded Yu Siyi of past experiences. Fearing abandonment once more, she quickly said, "I’ll do it, I’ll do it!"

Hearing the affirmative reply, Lu Langfeng’s face finally showed a smile again. He took out a painting and placed it in front of Yu Siyi, saying:

"Place your forehead on it, open your heart, and fully embrace the information inside. When you wake up, everything will be over."

Yu Siyi approached the painting and, following Lu Langfeng’s instructions, placed her forehead on it.

She felt a memory not belonging to her invading her mind, while the memories she once thought unforgettable were being gradually replaced.

At that moment, it seemed like it wasn’t just memories disappearing, but herself.

She was uneasy, but that didn’t stop her actions. She slightly tilted her head, using the corner of her eye to glance at Lu Langfeng, and asked:

"Did I help?"

Unfortunately, she didn’t wait for Lu Langfeng’s reply before losing consciousness, completely losing awareness.

Lu Langfeng observed the entire process and shook his head. He put away the painting that was on Yu Siyi’s forehead and withdrew the energy concealing the room’s cameras.

Other actions he completed in front of the cameras, but for the memory replacement part, he chose to obscure it.

Lu Langfeng sat back in his chair, watching the sleeping girl and fell into deep thought.

Why did he let her go?

This was unlike him. While he wouldn’t deliberately massacre, he also wouldn’t deliberately show mercy.

According to his style, these Wild Transcendents were merely disposable tools. To reduce the leakage of information about him, he would usually silence all these tools.

Soft-hearted?

Certainly not. The life of a normal person, including ordinary players, to him was nothing more than a stroke on a canvas, whether to erase or not, all depended on his mood.

He always acted recklessly, never caring if it involved regular people, especially during the conflict with the White Tower, where ordinary people affected by him, if not ten thousand, there were at least eight thousand.

Would he feel guilty?

Of course not. For those people, he felt not a shred of emotion, not even sympathy.

Yet, he spared Yu Siyi.

Perhaps it was because he saw in her a shadow of what he once was.

If he kept Yu Siyi by his side, maybe she would become another him, but if she only awakened her powers and at the crossroad that determines the future, did not choose the path he did back then, would there be a different future?

He was curious, so he acted.

Lu Langfeng stood up from his chair, feeling the presence of eight other tool individuals on the fifth underground level, still in a state similar to sleepwalking, repeatedly drawing symbols on the walls with their fingers.

Some pressed so hard that their fingertips began to bleed.

He did not stop them but instead instructed them to continue.

They were originally going to die. For her to survive normally, they were spared a life. Truly fortunate, indeed.

Lu Langfeng headed towards the underground elevator. Since entering Wanghai City, he had spent this long just for this very moment.

The branches of the Management Bureau, although differing in personnel levels, were all constructed under the supervision of the main bureau.

Especially the underground spaces, which usually housed Transcendent criminals and sealed important items belonging to the local Management Bureau, requiring the highest level of protection.

A slight relaxation, and there would be players taking the reckless plunge for a free loot.

Every branch’s underground space used the Management Bureau’s unique encryption technique, connecting via the third underground level to the Red Wave Space. Backed by the Red Wave Space, each local bureau practically possessed endless power, making it difficult for ordinary Abyss Second Layer players to breach or infiltrate.

But the precondition for safety was maintaining a connection with the Red Wave Space.

Lu Langfeng, during this period, used a method of "planting nails," driving them one by one into the bureau’s underground, eroding its defense system.

At this moment, he summoned the Erosion Space, successfully isolating the fifth and sixth underground levels from the upper floors through the gaps he previously made.

The Red Wave Space on the third underground level couldn’t transmit energy downwards, making the treasury on the sixth underground level of Wanghai City appear like a free buffet before him, allowing him to take away anything he pleased.

Lu Langfeng took out a paintbrush and drew a circle on the elevator door. The circle emitted light, opening a small door on the elevator door.

He stepped inside, his body dropping straight down. He descended nearly a hundred meters and, just before hitting the ground, was gently held by an invisible force, landing softly on the ground.

Truly elegant.

He adjusted his suit collar and slowly walked to the main door of the sixth underground level, using the same trick to open a small entrance to the special warehouse. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Upon entering, his gaze was immediately drawn to a massive glass display case, inside which stood a doorframe three meters high and two meters wide, adorned with luxurious patterns all over.

The sign in front of the display read its name, "Universal Portal."

Lu Langfeng took a deep breath, a look of rapture crossing his face. This was the scent, the scent of an Item for Planar Traversal within the Space System.

Items capable of traversing between planes were exceedingly rare, even he had only found a single World Painting Scroll.
